Getting it ready for a shot of paint

 

[megajoltman]

And the first coat of paint.

Hmm I'm not sure if its the camera or the light but sure not the sharpest pictures.:-k

You must have a cell already picked out,and just cut and welded for it. I really like how you did the exits for the fuel lines! Also liked the sliders..

 

[megajoltman]

Yes I had it sitting here ready to go but it was close if not dead on to the manufacturers measurements posted online.

 

[needsaresto]

Im pretty conviced those sliders are a good deal,but just wondering how it would work out of you moved your springs inboard? Would need to move the frame rail as well?

 

[megajoltman]

Hey Paul if you check out my earlier pics you see that my springs are moved inboard so they line up no problem with spring relocation boxes. I think that's what your asking right?

 

[needsaresto]

Yes!!! Thanks Roger that there is golden info to me! I am liking your slider setup a whole bunch,and found them at speedway motors with a metal roller bearing for $45? Beat's the snot outta Mancini...

Im thinking this slider is good for Caltrac's as well. It would prevent the binding up and subsequent harsh ride most guys get with Caltracs and a street car.

i think i might do my gas tank the same way since my tub is rotting out and my tank straps are holding onto that...

 

[needsaresto]

I guess I got lucky with my gas tank. It was almost rust free!

 

[megajoltman]

Still plugging away but taking forever the get the body right for black paint.

[megajoltman]

Well at least the underside and the trunk are now painted, looks better in person than the pics though.

I like what you did with trunk. Cars going to look real sharp when your done. Also like the idea of the sliders with the springs moved in.

 

[needsaresto]

Looking good Roger. Keep up the good work!

 

[stansblue72]

New PB account and some update pics

This is after the 2nd prime and sand.....

 

[megajoltman]

After some spot priming, two-part glazing putty and final sand it was ready for paint.

 

[megajoltman]

There was some small specks of dust and a run or two but I'm pretty happy with the out come as it only the engine compartment anyways.

 

[megajoltman]

Cleaned, sanded and slapped a small amount of gravel guard on the inside of the fenders so they can be put on and get ready for paint.

All and all one of my more productive weekend

:cheers:

 

[needsaresto]

Looks great Roger!:toothy8:

 

[megajoltman]

Front fenders are on and everything lined up nice with just a little massaging..

 

[megajoltman]

Primed ready for more block sanding....

 

[needsaresto]

Ahhhh,the smell of bondo and primer....
